So a woman complains about gender based toys and Target listens?What about the other 999.9% of the rest of the people that prefer gender divisions, do they not get hear at all?Don't kid yourselves people, this is Marxists making another move against American culture.

But we never want guests or their families to feel frustrated or limited by the way things are presented. Over the past year, guests have raised important questions about a handful of signs in our stores that offer product suggestions based on gender. In some cases, like apparel, where there are fit and sizing differences, it makes sense. In others, it may not. Historically, guests have told us that sometimes—for example, when shopping for someone they don’t know well—signs that sort by brand, age or gender help them get ideas and find things faster. But we know that shopping preferences and needs change and, as guests have pointed out, in some departments like Toys, Home or Entertainment, suggesting products by gender is unnecessary.

We heard you, and we agree. Right now, our teams are working across the store to identify areas where we can phase out gender-based signage to help strike a better balance. For example, in the kids’ Bedding area, signs will no longer feature suggestions for boys or girls, just kids. In the Toys aisles, we’ll also remove reference to gender, including the use of pink, blue, yellow or green paper on the back walls of our shelves. You’ll see these changes start to happen over the next few months.

When I was in Korea, they had unisex bathrooms and they were extremely dirty.Granted, this one is clean and I never once saw a single stall such as this one, most were just 2 or more in the floor so close to one another that adults would have trouble squeezing in without touching the person next to you, and many times there was a woman next to you.

I already posted so I can't quote what someone said, but someone added how girls will wear pink dresses and boys will want the crash and burn toys! I grew up happy with my toy cars and dinosaurs and nerf guns. It's sick how they want to bring kids into this, really disgusting.

Sanity will prevail..... but it will take us a while to throw out all the trash washed in with this Progressive PC hurricane. You know, storms always wash in mountains of seaweed and debris. But we eventually get everything cleaned up and restored to civility.

While I have had it up to my scalp follicles with PC crap, I have to say I don't give a rat's hiney if stores have gender labels for their toys. I think the average person, even the vacuous skulls of humanists, can differentiate between the baby doll aisle and the action figure aisle.

My youngest daughter has been a full blown "tomboy" since she could walk. As a toddler she loved matchbox cars and Bionicles. One time we were shopping and her mother had promised her a small toy because she was so good at the doctor's office. So her mother takes Jen in the toy department, and wanders up and down the baby doll section for 10 minutes or so, pointing out this or that item in an attempt to get her littlest girl interested in traditional little girl toys. At the end of the aisle she asked Jen, "What do you think?"

Jen looks at her seriously and said, "Well, it looks pretty, but can we go look at the REAL toys now?"

The look on my wife's face was priceless. And I didn't help much, being barely able to walk I was laughing so hard.

But in all seriousness, hopefully we look back in 100 years and people will be like man those people were f****ed in the head!

@Zewazir that's a pretty funny story. Me and my family won't be shopping at target anymore, I'll tell you that. Liberals are offended because some kid is a boy? Is there a point where they'll finally realize how stupid they look and sound to everyone else. aka the normal people.

I read about this earlier and am completely baffled by this very poor marketing move. I am not a fan of shopping period, I choose stores based on how easily I can find what I need and get out. If I have to wade through a jock strap display while searching for female undergarments, I will take the entire stock and shove it in the freezer. It probably will not do a bit of good, but I'll feel so happy doing it. I am going to make those b@stards lives miserable.
